As reported and suggested by Willy, the inline __sysret() helper introduces three types of conversions and increases the size:

(1) the "unsigned long" argument to __sysret() forces a sign extension from all sys_* functions that used to return 'int'

(2) the comparison with the error range now has to be performed on a 'unsigned long' instead of an 'int'

(3) the return value from __sysret() is a 'long' (note, a signed long) which then has to be turned back to an 'int' before being returned by the caller to satisfy the caller's prototype.

To fix up this, firstly, let's use macro instead of inline function to preserves the input type and avoids these useless conversions (1), (3).

Secondly, comparison to -MAX_ERRNO inflicts on all integer returns where we could previously keep a simple sign comparison, let's use a new is_signed_type() macro from include/linux/compiler.h to limit the comparision to -MAX_ERRNO (2) only on demand and preserves a simple sign comparision for most of the cases as before.

Thirdly, fix up the following warning by an explicit conversion:

sysroot/powerpc/include/sys.h: In function 'sbrk': sysroot/powerpc/include/sys.h:104:16: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast] 104 | return (void *)__sysret(-ENOMEM);

Here reports the size testing result with nolibc-test:

before:

// ppc64le $ size nolibc-test text data bss dec hex filename 27916 8 80 28004 6d64 nolibc-test

// mips $ size nolibc-test text data bss dec hex filename 23276 64 64 23404 5b6c nolibc-test

after:

// ppc64le $ size nolibc-test text data bss dec hex filename 27736 8 80 27824 6cb0 nolibc-test

// mips $ size nolibc-test text data bss dec hex filename 23036 64 64 23164 5a7c nolibc-test
